Boxwood Blight- Virginia Tech


Unfortunately, Boxwood Blight continues to be an issue in the area and will be for the foreseeable future.  Spraying of Boxwoods on a 14-21 day interval should resume this month.  The primary fungicide that is required is Daconil, a contact fungicide.  Researchers at NC State have also noted increased success if that is mixed with a systemic fungicide as well.  Treating your boxwoods is easy and if you are interested, shoot me an email and I will send you an information sheet on exactly what to buy, where to buy it and what rates to use.  My email is bstiehler@highlandscountryclub.com
